AT THE PLAYGROUND (Std 4 Language Arts)


Suggestions of learning activities for the poem ‘At the Playground’
1.    Listening to modeled reading by the teacher.
2.    Repeating after teacher line by line (for low proficiency pupils); selected reading alouds by pupils or reading in pairs (for higher proficiency pupils).
3.    Choral reading / jazz chants with rhythmic clapping (using syllable counts).
4.    Pronouncing words with the initial sounds of ‘sw’, ‘sl’ and the final sounds of ‘dle’. Matching words with the same initial and final sounds.
5.    Grammar in context: verb tense forms – talking about what one does at the playground and then what one did yesterday at the playground.
Swing – swung
Slide – slid
Hang – hung
Race – raced
Fall – fell
(for the higher proficient pupils- forming sentences in the present and the past simple)
6.    (for lower proficient pupils) drawing / colouring picture posters of a playground, naming/labeling things found and seen in a playground. (make it competitive)
7.    (For vocab reinforcement) completing a word search / crossword puzzle on things found in a playground / things one can do in a playground.
